SMC Vacuum Generator

SMC Vacuum Generator, 0.5 mm Nozzle Diameter - ZU05SA

This Compact vacuum generator is a miniature pneumatic ejector designed to create negative pressure for small-scale handling and automation tasks. It operates with compressed Air to provide suction for pick-and-place and component transfer in industrial environments. The unit is intended for integration into systems that require a lightweight, in-line vacuum source compatible with common soft and rigid tubing materials.

Features & Benefits

• Maximum flow rate 16 l/min delivers Faster cycle handling
  Maximum vacuum pressure −90 kPa enables secure grip
  Air consumption 14 l/min minimises supply demand
  Standard supply pressure 0.45 MPa simplifies integration
  Supports FEP, PFA, Nylon and polyurethane tubing increases versatility

Applications

• Suitable for pick-and-place of electronic components on production lines
  Ideal for lightweight assembly and handling in automation cells
  used with pneumatic grippers for small-part transfer operations
  Can be used for lab automation requiring Compact vacuum supply

What connection options are available for tubing?

Ports accept one-touch fittings with ø6 tubing for this configuration, and earlier types use smaller ø4 one-touch fittings on comparable variants.

What operating temperatures are supported in typical environments?

The device functions between −5 °C and 50 °C provided there is no freezing of moisture in the supply or tubing.

How does supply pressure variation affect performance?

Operating within 0.1 to 0.6 MPa adjusts suction flow and vacuum depth
the rated supply for nominal performance is 0.45 MPa.

What nozzle sizes are offered and how do they influence flow?

Nozzles are available in 0.3, 0.4, 0.5 and 0.7mm diameters which alter Air consumption and achievable suction flow.
